* Jacobson said pricing was strong across the board. He added that demand was also strong in Q4. Although they expect strong pricing to continue, they are guiding a 1% to 1.5% year over year decline in pricing in 2025 in the North America market due to potential high incentives and a moderation in average transaction prices (ATPs). He pointed out that pricing was good in January but there is so much noise in it, hence they see it fit to be cautious. | |||
